1. 1. Hotel Milano

   

   After an earthquake jolts a northern Italian city, a middle-aged translator shepherds his tangled family—ex‑wife, new partner, and grown children—into a chic downtown hotel, where aftershocks, blackouts, and an influx of anxious guests turn a short stay into a pressure cooker. Over several fraught days he is drawn into comic and bruising confrontations that expose old grievances, shifting loyalties, and the country’s simmering social tensions, forcing him to reckon with desire, responsibility, and the stories he tells himself to stay in control.
